Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammation. Its structure allows for effective modification in drug design, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals, including certain herbicides and fungicides, due to its stability and reactivity in coupling reactions. Commonly utilized in research settings for building complex aromatic amines and in the formation of dyes and pigments requiring high thermal and chemical resistance.
